Title: Why I Sold A WATKINS Long Box

I had to sell a Watkins Long box to get it but liking how it looks so far. Should be ready to ship later in the week.

Dan Wittenberg makes an awesome call. I have one of his Sitka Spruce long boxes and it is a good one.

Awesome choice Mike.  I ordered one of his holsters.  Nice guy and apparently legendary in his region for calls.

I don't know much about Michigan turkeys, Mike, but these Florida Panhandle Easterns can't get enough of that Sitka spruce ;D.  Dan Whittenberg makes an excellent box, it sounds slightly different than most, but it's pure  :funnyturkey:!
